Hey guys,
Just wondering if this is the right boot badge to be ordering and if so, can I trust the dealer to get order one for the bonnet also.

None of the boot badges on my e30 were curved, both totally flat and 88mm sounds a bit on the large side too, i thought they were about 70-75mm

Thats correct, the boot badge should be curved, the bonnet badge is flat.

i need a replacement Bonnet badge, are there any aftermaket metal ones or just the plastic ones, My front badge is the original metal one from new, but as you can guess the blue is coming away, rear is a replacement plastic one.

Where is the best place for replacement metal ones (apart from stealers, i am not paying £20+ each).

Euro car parts used to sell them, not sure if they still do, I might be wrong, and I will check my ones new ones but the genuine article are actually plastic.

really, them seem like thin sheet metal to me. rear one is ok for now but before long the front one will not be ledgable.
